During the reaction, the volume of the reaction mixture was maintained at about 300 ml by adding continuously toluene in an amount corresponding to the azeotropic mixture removed.
• reaction mixture was poured into ice-water and the toluene layer was separated and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate.

• Example 6 The sheets of thickness 0.5 mm obtained in Example 6 were subjected to a pressure of 12 tons by means of a hydraulic press at 260° C. for 6 minutes and then placed immediately into cold water to form films of thickness 0.1 mm. The films were cut to form test specimens of size 50 ⁇ 120 mm. Each test specimen was exposed to light in a Sunshine Weather Meter at a black panel temperature of 63 ⁇ 3° C. and examined periodically to determine the percent elongation at break. The test results were expressed as a ratio of the time required for the test specimen to reach 50% elongation at break when the stabilizer was employed to the time when no stabilizer was employed. The result obtained is shown in Table 2.
